The Maranathakerk occupies a unique place in the reconstruction architecture of The Hague. The building is a prototype of a famous series of German "emergency churches" after the Second World War. The spiritual father of the emergency churches was the German master builder Otto Bartning. The Dutch architect Frits Eschauzier integrated a donated roof structure into his own design. The church has been a municipal monument since 2018.
Eindhoven, NL
Extremely interesting, relatively large, reconstruction church with an important freestanding tower. Built as the Reformed Western Church, replacing an earlier building with the same name in the Eindhoven-Strijp district, on the Koenraadlaan. Shortly after it was put into use, in 1956, due to the construction of the 3rd Reformed Petra Church in Eindhoven-Stratum, it was renamed the Maranatha Church, at the same time as the older Reformed "Ooster Church" on the Fazantlaan, architect Tj. Kuipers, was renamed the Immanuël Church. In 1974 (in the context of ecumenical cooperation Samen op Weg) it was also used as the Dutch Reformed Church, after the demolition of the Dutch Reformed Schootse Church in the same Strijp district (this important Schootse Church was subsequently put into use, and is still in use, as a Christian Reformed Church). This Maranatha Church was decommissioned as the Dutch Reformed and Reformed Church in 1995; sold that year to, and since then in use by, the Pentecostal Church of Eindhoven, with the name "Maranatha Church" unchanged.

Kazan, RU
The Märcani Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Russia, was one of the symbols of the tolerance granted by Empress Catherine II (1762 - 1996) to non-Christian Russian communities at the end of the 18th century. This mosque remains the historical centre of Tatar-Muslim spirituality. The mosque was built in 1766-1770 and is the first stone mosque built in Kazan after it was taken by Ivan Terrible in 1552. The building was constructed in the tradition of medieval Tatar architecture with a minaret on the roof and forms in the provincial baroque style. In the decoration of the facades and interiors, the architectural decoration of the Petrine Baroque is combined with the decorative motifs of Tatar decorative art.
